Onlive - I'm in

[Flat_Steve]

Has OnLive expanded to the UK? I've just managed to log in on to their service.



Can anyone else test and see if they can get on?

I didnt think that was still being touted around. Have you subscribed then?
How much is it costing you?

[Flat_Steve]

Nowt, they have let US customers log into their service, you can either pay to rent/buy individual games or sign up to an all-you-can-play thing, but you can play most of the games for free for the first 30 minutes. I've been playing Darksiders and Alien v Predator since posting here, and managed to log in twice - so unless I've managed to get onto a US server they've probably made the closed beta server in Wales live perhaps...

I'm assuming I've accidentally managed to get onto a US server though - it initially complained of high latency but let me in anyway, and while the service runs like a dream (and looks bloody fantastic, if game-limited at this point) there is some lag in the controls - still playable but very noticeable.

I'm just amazed I'm in at all though - I've tried quite a few times to log in on the off chance for the last six months but today's the first time I've got in and I can't find anything on the net to say they've expanded to the UK - thought this might be a big deal which is why I asked if some PH'ers could also give it a go and see what their mileage is...

Looking at the menu options I see this...




'EULA'. So I must be on a European server, presumably the Welsh one?

Edited to add: though all the prices are in Dollars. Can anyone else get on?

The 'E' in EULA is for "End', not 'European'.

[Flat_Steve]

D'oh.

I've been using OnLine on my macbook for a few months now. It's alright, but I can't stand the input lag. It'll be a good service once they solve that, though.

Had a quick go with this - quite a good choice - graphics are ok - not a patch on a mid range gaming rig though. Controls weren't that bad - tiniest lag but playable.
